Hi all

I did a 2 hour 30 min journey yesterday to central London and I feel like I experienced some heavy turbo lag lower down in the rev range in higher gears, this was after being stuck in traffic In 6 miles of m25 traffic toward the end of the journey in 6th gear rolling at 45 to 50 just below 2000 rpm I put my foot down to accelerate and nothing it accelerated but really slowly I had to drop to fourth to get real boost it felt a bit laggy afterwards but not as bad.

Now was this heat soak? it also sounded like boost was leaking somewhere! But that sound disappeared soon after.

Which engine? On my Cupra you don't get boost until after 2500 rpm, and on even a slight incline it's even more apparent when you are in the wrong gear.

I have had this on my Cupra , if you we're stationary with a pflow I would say defiantly heat soak.
What map is it?
Things you may want to look at are your plugs and coils as well as your divertor valve.
You have been having more fuel and more load on your ignition system.

But to be sure get a scan with vag com

Hi it's the 185 2.0 tfsi remap to stage 1 by ptorque and it has a pflow induction kit.

The car was towards the end of a 2 hour 30 min journey wolves to Ilford on the m25 after 6 miles of stop and start traffic the thing is the next day on the way back it was 100 percent ok even idled without being lumpy I don't know I'm at a loss.

Rob I would say its heat soak, will at ptorque suggests if it is a twin inter might help but told me to bring it down and he will log it but its not happened again.
